Sewing Project- Baby Blanket

I finally finished my baby blanket and soft rattle. I've been working on them for a while. Neither one was really difficult, I just didn't get around to the different stages for a while.

The cube I actaullay did in one sitting with the exception of closing it. I wanted to put something in it that would cause a rattling sound so I left it open. I finally figured out what to put in it last night. I used film canister with a few pennies. It was small enough that it was well cusioned and larege enough that it makes a clear "change" sound. Fun fun.
The blanket has just a flat back that is the same as the edge on the front. It also has a layer of batting in it. (I got a large box of stuffing and batting for free on a garage sale - YES!) My DH really likes it. He says that he is a little jealous of Baby. He has plenty of fleece new sews and quilts, but this is the softest one in the entire house. Plus, the raised bumps make it fun to feel.

About Me

Life is an adventure, exponentially so when you are a mom. As time passes I realize more and more that life is about learning to love the adventures the God brings us while using them to grow ourselves and nurture our children so that we can be effective and Christ-filled in whatever adventures He has instore for us. It means being intentional, thoughtful, and enganged in life, That is not an easy thing, but rich rewards only come with effort! and they are worth the effort!
